Christenings in Transylvania.

Two godfathers aud two godmothers
are generally appointed at Saxon peas
ant christenings, and it is customary
that one couple should be old and the
other young; but in no case should
husband and wife figure as godpar-
cnts at the same baptism, but each ono
of the quartette must belong to diff
ferent family. This is the general
custom, but in some districts the rule
demands two godfathers and one god
mother for boy, two godmothers and
one godfather for a girl
Ii the parents have lost other chill
dren before, then the infant should not
be carried out by the door in going to
church, but handed out by the window,
and brought back in the same way 1t
should be carried by the broadest
streets, never by the narrow lanes, else
it will learn thieving. The godparents
must not look round on their way to
church; and the first person met by the
christening procession will decide the
the sex of the next child to be born;
boy if it be Il man.
If two children are baptized out OF
the same water, one of them will soon
die; and if several boys are christend
successively in the same church, there
will be war In the land as soon as they
are grown up. Many girls denote
fruitful vintage for the country when
they have attained marriageable age,
Ii the child sleeps during the baptis-
NAL ceremony, then it will be pious
and good-tempered; but if 1t cries, it
will be bad-tcmpered or unlucky; there
fore, the first question asked by the
parents on the return from church is

sponsors are apt to conceal the truth.

An Important Meeting of the Railroad Com
missioncrs and Elevator hfen of Dakota
bonds for Doing Business Under the New
Law Fixed Upon-Othcr I'm portai,t Action.
FAnao, Special Telegram. July 11,-The
railroad commission met here today to con
slider the new warehouse law. There We're
present Chairman Griggs, Commissioner
Boynton, Abel Smith, Secretary Quinn, A.
torney General Te,npleton, together with
the following representatives. of The clevat-
ors mentioned:
II. E. Fletcher, president of the Northern Pa
ci1c Elevator company; E. d. Andrews, st. An
Petit. Minnesota IL Dakota and the Farmers
Union Elevator companies; A. g. Chambers,
North Dakota Elevator company; Mr.. RobbIns
Minneapolis & Northern Elevator company;
Mr.. Brooks, of Brooks Bros: W. II. Murray,
Star Hd h ana
papy; Superintendent p. D. Smith and Col. A.
b. Thomas. Northern Pacific Elevator company:
Judge Koon OF Minneapolis; general counsel for
the elevator companies, and Hon. Jud Lamoure
and George Mckinney
Arguments wore presented before the
board as to whether n company must give
one bond for each elevator or n blanket bond
for all, and whether the licenses should be
separate or collective. At the afternoon
meeting the commissioners presented their
conclusions in the following motions. Mr..
Griggs moved that the amount of bond from
each elevator company be fixed and proper
toned as follows:
For each elevator OF capacity of 10000 bush
oils or 1ess bopd of $4,000; for each elevator,
with capacity of over 10000 bushels and not
| more than 10000 bushels $4,000: and for each
elevator or warehouse with capacity of more
| then that, $4,000.
| The motion was carried. Mr.. Boyntcn
moved that tho board require that one
| fourth of the bondsmen be residents Of
| Dakota Carried He also moved that
each person, company or corporation doing
business as public warehouse in Dakota be
| required to take out a license for such bust
ness, and to give good and sufficient bond
which shall be approved by the board.
| Carried. 1t was stated that the commission
must furnish the samples of grades upon
request of the elevator companies and the
latter are expected to pny for
| the same. 1t was brought out in the discus
sion that some Of the elevator companies
especially these In South Dakota, would not
store for pay this season. and would there
fore not qualify under the law as ware,
housemen. 1t was decided that under the
law the owner Of the wheat was the one who
should furnish the cars, and therefore stor.
age would not end when the farmer sur
rendered his tickets, but would continue
until the cars were provided. The meet
ing was an important ono, and some 22l
elevators In Dakota were represented.

IT begins to look as if coal, with its
dust, dirt, sand sooty smoke, will have
to go. Natural gas, wherever il can be-
found, furnishes cheap, clean, and
convenient fuel, and serious attention
is now being given to- crude petroleum
for the same purpose. It has been ex-I
tensiyely introduced, both for locomo-
tiyes and stationary engines, and with
most satisfactory results. Va Cincinnati
paper states that plans are now on foot
for getting the crude oil from the Lima
fields into that city by a cheap system
Of transportation. It will be conveyed
in iron tanks BY way of the Miami Ca
nal, thus reducing the cost Of carriage
to the minimum. Either oil or gas can
be used without the aid Of d stoker,
thus materially reducing the cost Of
l running an engine to the extent Of the
stoker's wages. The matters Of con-
yenienee and cleanliness are also points
worth considering. Aft the plan works
successfully it is expected that before
long many Of the nufacturing estab-
,iishments in Cincinnati Will be operated
By means Of petroleum fuel, as those
Of Pittsburgh are now run by means
of natural gas.
According to one estimate, the orange
industry Of Florida has increased ten
tcld III five years.

{ THE Mayoress Of q Kansas town,
says the Wichita Eagle, who was
elected under the new woman suffrage
law, came down to her Office the other
day with Mother Hubbard on, and,
as she sat cross-legged in the Mayors
chair, the City Clerk noticed that she
had hole in the heel Of her stocking,
and that her hustle was to one side.
He reported the fact to his wife, his
wife told the hired girl, she told her
fellow, her fellow told the City Mar
shall, the City Marshal told the Mayor
ess, whereupon the City Clerk got
fred, and the town il scandalized. The
Mayoress said she would wear her bus
tie in front, behind, 81 sideways, and it
was nobody's business. It is needless
to say that the fair Mayoress is red
headed.
